you have a timing chain, and that could be it, if it decided to brake that would probably make some weird BOOM sound. if thats the case you might have damaged valves, and maybe your heads. when you turn the key on can you hear the fuel pump priming? if it feels easy to turn the motor over, im thinking timing chain, could be wrong though. maybe someone knows how to check for that without tearing the whole front of the motor off? good luck man!

I didnt think the 5.0 was an interferance engine, meaning that when you do have a timing problem at no time should the valves come into contact with the pistons. That is of course with a stock type setup. You would still have no compression as the timing would be so far off you couldnt build cylinder pressure. Anyone know for sure?
